An absolutely epic adventure! I was completely enraptured from the very beginning and found it nearly impossible to put this boo down. Packed full of adventure with tons of surprises, there was never a dull moment and I enjoyed every minute of it. The characters were very complex and likable with their own unique personalities that made me fall in love with all of them. The writing was snappy and fresh and I just loved the author's style. There were moments where I had to laugh, bite my nails, feel like slapping something and then sigh in pleasure at sweet romance finally. It was a beautifully written story that completely captured my heart and imagination! The ending wasn't quite a cliffhanger, but definitely introduces a sequel coming. I can't wait to see what adventures the characters get into in the next book! I absolutely loved this book and recommend it to anybody and everybody!

If someone were to offer my hand in marriage as a reward... Well, in reading that, little alarm-bells sounded in my head. (I'm very independent, and was raised a feminist.) But, I'm okay with it. It's cool. :p Fantasy novel, bit of the historical aspect, great reviews... I can easily imagine being swept away in this novel, and I have full faith in this author-- she appears to be quite capable.
Thank you for featuring this author and title!
